Tint Wizard manufacturing focuses on plastic injection molded
products. This type of manufacturing is ideal for the Glass
Tinting profession due to the demand for softer plastic parts
that do not threaten the delicate work performed by Glass Tinting
professionals. The manufacturing process begins with the
conceptualization of a new product followed by the design,
mold creation and injection molding of parts. The following
slides present the development of a Tint Wizard squeegee.
|
Part design is performed by Computer Aided Design (CAD) and must
consider breaking down the final product into several cavities that
later come together to form a mold that can withstand thousands of
pounds of pressure as molten plastic is forced into the cavities. A specialized program built by BobCAD-CAM CNC Software
The design process must also consider the size and shape of the
tools that will cut and shape the metal.
|
Setting up the machinery to begin the milling of the mold entails
the strategic placement of uncut Aluminum metal in either a conventional or
CNC milling machine.
|
Cavities according to the design are gradually cut into the
blank Aluminum that represent the space that is to be occupied by
the plastic. Carefully designed 'runners' or channels are
incorporated into the mold that feed each cavity at a controlled rate.
|
In cases where CNC machining is employed, precision automation of the
milling process is performed by computer codes that are generated from BobCAD-CAM
industrial design software. This software greatly accelerates both the
design and machining process and, produces precision results needed for high quality products.
|
As the mold nears completion, the cavities begin to hint at the shape of the final product.
|
The final mold is polished and prepared for injection molding. It
is at this point that the incredible degree of preparation can truly
be appreciated as, a hundred pound mold suggests the outline of a hand-held squeegee.
|
The final mold is mounted in an injection molding machine in Anaheim California where thousands of parts can be produced in a span of hours.
|
The final product, a quality Spehar Squeegee is eventually produced and later uploaded to our site for general retail sales as well as wholesale supply.
